So the one thing that nobody seems to be talking about on any of the sites, is how much more sensitive screen for using the keyboard. It’s using touch technology, correct? It isn’t just using infrared sensors anymore? Main reason for me wanting to upgrade from the paperwhite to the new voyage isso I can take notes much more quickly and accurately. I tend to use my iPad mini to read my books more often than not because it’s much more accurate. But I prefer reading my stuff on a Kindle so that I am less easily distracted and going on the web we’re checking out notifications and such. Any clarification would be great appreciated, plus couldgive you a jump over all the other people who have neglected to talk about this.

Blair, thanks for checking. I believe Voyage has more sensitive screen for typing with higher resolution.

I do highlight good “quote” when reading. I prefer touching the screen, drag and highlight. Not sure if you do type and take notes much when reading on Kindle.
